Folks:
Figured we should move in parallel on Linuxcon Prague as a potential
location for our workshop. I am now in contact with the event manager,
and have filled her in on the generalities and event specifics.
One item we need to consider immediately is budget. Planning this
close to the event may mean we take on more costs than if e.g. any of
us had the workshop included as part of our sponsorship for
Linuxcon. I've given Linux Foundation some basic specs - one big room,
four smaller breakout spaces, wireless connectivity, simple
refreshments. The dates I chose were the three days prior to the
conference - Sun, Mon, and Tue (23 to 25 October.)
I also asked the Linux Foundation to consider how they might be a
sponsor of the workshop. To lend support to that, I offered to bring
them in to the fold about the oVirt Project reboot. Under normal
circumstances, the oVirt workshop would be just the kind of thing the
Linux Foundation would support and sponsor. At this point, it would be
great to get a break on pricing and maybe gain some logistical support
for the workshop.
When I get some pricing and such, I'll share back to this list
whatever details I can put in the public record.

In order to figure out where to have a workshop end of
October/November timeframe, we need to know what works best for the
majority of attendees.
Right now the majority of the people who are on this spreadsheet ...
(URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html)
... are from one company (Red Hat). Based on what we see there, an
East Coast of the US or European location look best.
If you want to be sure that we are choosing with you in mind, you need
to be on that spreadsheet. This kick-off workshop is going to be very
important, so we want as many of us there as possible.
I'm going to contact the Linux Foundation about the possibility of
having a workshop in advance of or following the Linuxcon in Prague
(26 to 28 October.)
If we don't get more information from all of you, the group will have
to decide on a location based on what we know. At the moment, the best
fit seems to be Linuxcon or RTP North Carolina.

There was a short and lively discussion on the phone today about why
we are building an open virtualization community from the ground
up. For example, people are being asked why we aren't putting this
energy in to joining existing open-virt efforts.
The problem with the latter discussion is it too easily gets in to
comparing fresh oranges with dried bananas - that is, it appears to be
a common discussion domain (fruit!), but the form, function, and
contents are very different. In the end, if you are going to talk
about fresh oranges, it doesn't make sense to bring up dried bananas.
Bringing this discussion to the mailing list, this gives us a chance
to work out our ideas in an open forum (that is, these archives will
eventually be open to the public.) Thus a consensus here about why to
do this project proves the point that this is an open leadership
community from the outset.
One theme that came up today I paraphrase here:
We have very specific ideas about how to do things the open source
way, learned from places such as Apache and Eclipse:
* Involve key stakeholders from the beginning;
* Require them to put a real stake down to be first-movers;
* Make the community from the very outset openly constructed for
shared control and management;
* Show how to earn a seat at the board table;
* Design and build leadership so consensus rolls up and down from
sub-projects to a central governance body;
* The community sets the project's direction by consensus from the
outset.
... then condensing it:
The only way to ensure a community is open and moving in the correct
direction is to do it right from the start. There's no mistake in
starting a new effort to accomplish those goals.
... another version:
We're building an open virtualization project from the ground-up,
involving key stakeholders as a start, and aggressively focusing on
an open governance and project model. As we proceed, if our
technology and community-style fit with all these other
virtualization and cloud efforts, then integration will go more
smoothly.
Those are some ideas to start off.
Why do *you* think we are doing the oVirt Project?

Hi folks,
Still need people to sign up here. Feel free to sign up yourself, your
team members at your company, etc. Pretty please. :)

I'd like to have a location settled by the end of this week at the
absolutely latest, and have enough attendees listed here by Wednesday's
sync meeting to have reasonable discussion around location.
I have added a second page to the spreadsheet (page tabs are at bottom)
for adding people/companies/projects who are not yet participating in
the initial stages of the project, but would likely have interest in
participating in the workshop.
If you know of:
* A company, and having a division/department is helpful, and a contact
at that company to reach out to, or have a list of contacts
* An open source software project or other organization with names/contacts
* Individual contributors
... Please add them to the list on the second page (potential non-board
invites), and add your name in the "proposed by" column, so we all know
who made the suggestion.
Thanks,
-Robyn

I've put together a simple spreadsheet on google docs to start gathering
information on who the likely attendees for a workshop are. I realize
that without a date and location in mind, it is hard to commit, so let's
consider this to be a "firmly interested/likely" list at this point.
I've requested Name, email, company, role, the name of any subproject or
potential subproject the person is affiliated with, if any (Nogah, QEMU,
etc.), and where they are located.
If you're tentatively planning to attend, please add yourself, along
with any team members who will also be likely to attend, or alternately
share the link with those team members so they may add themselves.
(URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html)
I'll add this link into our master document as well.
Thanks,
